AI for Beginners: Practical AI Skills in One 4-Hour Class
About this Event
Learn practical AI skills you can use right away
This is a live, instructor-led class built for complete beginners. In four hours you will go from wondering what AI can actually do to confidently using AI tools for real work: writing, research, documents, planning, analysis, and images.
How the four hours work
• Understand the tools — what AI is, what it does well, and where it falls short
• Practice real tasks — hands-on exercises, not slides
• Get live guidance — ask questions and get answers in the moment
• Earn your credentials — leave with badges and a certificate
Eight verified skill badges you can earn
• What is AI?
• Write with AI
• Research Anything
• Work With Documents
• Plan Something
• Analyze and Get Answers
• Visual Creation
• Build Your Toolkit
The badges are verified and shareable, so you can add them to LinkedIn and list them on your resume. You will also receive an AI for Beginners course certificate, plus training materials, walkthroughs, and written instructions to take home.
What you will need
• A laptop that can get online
• No prior AI experience
• A free ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude account is helpful, but not required
